70% to pass

According to U.S. regulations, normally, where are manholes in LFG located?

A there are no requirements in the regulation
B above the weather deck
C in the ends of each tank
D in the expansion trunk of each tank
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) above the weather deck. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, manholes in liquefied flammable gas (LFG) tanks are typically required to be located above the weather deck. This ensures that any potential gas leaks or venting can safely disperse into the open air, rather than accumulating in enclosed spaces below deck. The other options are incorrect because: A) there are specific requirements for manhole locations in LFG tank regulations, B) is the correct answer, C) manholes are not typically located at the ends of the tanks, and D) the expansion trunk is not the typical location for manholes in LFG tanks.
